John’s Clients

I reached out to David when aggressively pursuing new opportunities in the Fall of 2018. David was able to develop a concise and effective profile based on my experience, skill sets and targeted opportunities. The new profile resulted in a 130% spike in views in the 2 weeks following my profile updates. I would strongly recommend David’s services to generate the right kind of exposure to recruiters and HR professionals.

Michael Rubeis, MBA, PMP, Project Manager

I have known David for several years now, as alumni of City Year (an AmeriCorps program), and have worked with him consistently to help me navigate critical decision points in my early professional career. David is insightful, positive, a great listener, and intellectually curious, which has allowed him to gain a deepened understanding of my career aspirations. David’s coaching has given me confidence in my capabilities, and helped me make significant progress towards my professional ambitions. I would recommend David to anyone serious about accelerating their professional development to achieve current and future career goals.

Marcus Bost, Human Capital Consultant

I was home with my children for 7 years and when I decided to go back to work, David helped me with my outdated resume. I applied to several jobs using that resume and I was getting nowhere. I used David’s eBook, “Career Hacks: Your Awesome Resume,” and I started getting calls from companies where I applied. David coupled the eBook with a personal touch of reviewing my resume and offering additional edits and I appreciated that so much! My updated resume helped me get interviews and offers with 2 companies. One of which I previously applied to using the outdated resume. Thank you for everything, Dave!

Deborah Chaplin, Startup Lead

Although I would consider myself to be pretty self-aware, this assessment was very enlightening because of its unique design to objectively measures your natural abilities. In addition to going over my results, he used our time to coach me on the practical application of how to use my natural abilities to my best advantage in my current and future career endeavors.

David is very professional, thorough and knowledgeable, and is great at communicating clearly and effectively. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I definitely recommend the Highlands Ability Battery assessment as well as David for consulting/coaching services.

S. Aseto, D.O, General Pediatrician

Dave’s career coaching service utilizing the Highlands Ability Battery was extraordinarily helpful. His combined HR leadership and excellence in organizational development allowed for a uniquely tailored assessment of personal abilities and strengths. Dave accurately synthesized the results of the Ability Battery while considering my experiences and values with his holistic approach. I walked away with a level of understanding which far exceeded past achievement and strengths-based assessments. Dave’s assessment service combined with highly attuned coaching helped propel me to into a new realm of possibility and growth; personally, and occupationally! I know he will do the same for you!

Michelle Arnts, Child Life Specialist

When seeking advice about a possible job transition David Rhoden’s advice was invaluable. He provided great insight into what each potential choice could offer and helped me develop a successful plan moving forward. I would recommend David’s services to anyone seeking to further their career.

Brandon Morton, PhD, Project Director

The process of working with David was incredibly beneficial. I found it most helpful that David was able to help me approach my career goals from both a professional and personal perspective. David helped as a major support system for me to gain perspective being early in my career. He also helped me navigate considering a change of career path while in between jobs. David really has a passion for what he does and is extraordinarily empathetic. This allows him to better understand those he works with to find a plan that is unique and effective for them.

Marvin Johnson III , Talent Acquisition Specialist

I first sought out David while working my first full time job, I wanted to make sure I was on the right career path for my future and make sure it properly aligned with my skillset and passions. Using David’s extensive career and human resource experience I was able to not only identify a new job that aligned with my skillset and passions, but lean on his support and services to successfully edit my resume and cover letter, coach me through potential interview questions, and build the confidence I needed to land my current job in a completely new industry. If you want timeliness, personalization and a supportive coach to maximize your career potential, look no further!

JokAsiyo, IT Consultant

I contacted David as a new graduate applying for my first job over 5 years. He helped me develop a resume that communicated to potential employers who I am. It was a smooth process working with David. What was most helpful was the career advice. In helping me prepare my resume, David challenged me to have a greater outlook on my career and how to plan strategically for my personal professional goals. I am now a physical therapy supervisor and I consult with David periodically for advice. He is very professional and practical and anyone that works with him will be pushed to a higher standard of excellence. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking grow professionally.
